Tenth graders explore slavery in the U.S. by researching the web. For this U.S. history lesson, 10th graders identify the geography of Connecticut and the overall involvement the state had in the slavery process. Students view data of...

In this math worksheet, students complete the work in order to chart the data into the pie graph. The picture is used for statistical analysis.

In this math instructional activity, students take the time to count out the colors of the candies. They graph the results and make inferences from the information.

Students open a blank spreadsheet and format it for a class survey about the number of shoes owned by the men and women in the class. They enter the data before finding the mean, median, mode, quartiles, variance, and the standard...

What are the chances? Probability comes into play in this worksheet as mathematicians examine a circular chart with images, determining the possibility that the "spinner" will land on each of the images. Appropriate for younger...

Young scholars use data of school alumni to create a database. The lesson uses technology and access to a computer lab is essential. The concepts of graphing statistics is also used to help teach across the curriculum.

Students engage in a study of science and mathematics with the practice of creating graphs. A guest speaker comes to the class to share statistics from the community and the students are shown how he uses the coordinate system in the...

Seventh graders use ideas of uncertainty to illustrate that mathematics involves more than exactness when dealing with every day situations. The main standard of this instructional activity is statistics and probability.

Learners investigate the concepts of area and perimeter with the use of chocolate bars. They calculate the perimeter and area of different size rectangle chocolate bars and record the statistics. Then students make a visual comparison...

In this statistics worksheet, students read studies and determine if they are experimental or observational. They identify the type of sampling used in 5 studies.

In this statistics worksheet, students solve 5 frequency problems. In four of the problems, the frequency table is provided and students construct one relative frequency table, one cumulative frequency table, and two cumulative relative...

In this statistics worksheet, young scholars find mean, median, and mode for 3 problems. They find the mean of summarized data in 2 problems.

Explore punctuality by participating in a daily class activity. They will choose a classmate to be the attendance monitor for a week and he or she becomes responsible for keeping track of who has missed school on which days. They create...
